They're missing the most important step: :inoremap jj <esc>

Seriously, the first time I tried using vim, the need to hit escape to leave insert mode was incredibly frustrating. The entire design philosophy of vim is based around keeping your hands on the home row as much as possible, so why is such an important action tied to a key that's way the heck off in a corner?

I've just rebind capslock to escape from the desktop environment

I do the same thing, however I’ve considered switching to jj because it allows one to stay on the home row.

The only issue I've experienced with jj is that now any time I'm forced to use another editor I keep instinctively typing jj all over the place.
